	Prince Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymont, 7th duc de Broglie, generally known as Louis de Broglie, was born in Dieppe (Seine-Maritime), France on August 15, 1892. His parents were named Pauline de La Forest d'Armaillé and Victor de Broglie. The de Broglie family was a rather prominent one in France, Louis being 7th in the de Broglie line of dukes. Louis was known in his childhood as a charming boy, his sister writing of him, “This little brother had become a charming child, slender, svelte, with small laughing face, eyes full of mischief, curled like a poodle. Admitted to the great table, he wore in the evenings a costume of blue velvet, with breeches, black stockings and shoes with buckles, which made him look like a little prince in a fairy tale. His gaiety filled the house. He talked all the time even at the dinner table where the most severe injunctions of silence could not make him hold his tongue, so irresistible were his remarks. Raised in relative loneliness he had read much and lived in the unreal….he had a prodigious memory and knew by heart entire scenes from the classical theatre that he recited with inexhaustible verve….he seemed to have a particular taste for history, in particular political history….hearing our parents discuss politics he improvised speeches inspired by the accounts in the newspapers and could recite unerringly complete lists of ministers of the Third Republic, which changed so often…a great future as a statesman was predicted for Louis.”		Prince Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymont, 7th duc de Broglie, generally known as Louis de Broglie, was born in Dieppe (Seine-Maritime), France on August 15, 1892.

			After first receiving a degree in history in 1910, he then received a degree in science before being conscripted into the French Army's wireless section, where he was stationed at the Eiffel Tower for the remainder of the War. After the war he resumed his studies of theoretical physics, in particular, quantum mechanics. In 1924 he delivered his doctoral thesis, "Recherches sur la Théorie des Quanta" (Researches on the Quantum Theory). This work was extremely influential, and was used as much of the basis for the general theory of wave mechanics. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics "for his discovery of the wave nature of electrons". He was elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1933, and has been the perpetual secretary since 1942. He also holds the Grand Cross of the Légion d'Honneur, the highest decoration in France.

			Louis de Broglie died on March 19, 1987 of natural causes.
